About Dr Bal Sidhu
GDC number: 83975
Year qualified: 2004
Place of primary qualification: King’s College London
Dr Bal Sidhu is a Specialist Prosthodontist in the City of London, helping patients restore teeth that look natural, feel comfortable, and function well long-term. Her work focuses on restoring smiles where teeth are worn, broken, discoloured or missing, and on supporting patients who feel anxious about dental treatment or who have had previous dentistry that has not met their expectations.
Many patients attend with concerns that have built up over time - worn or shortened teeth, chipping or fractures, sensitivity, repeated failure of crowns or bridges, or difficulty chewing. Some also experience jaw discomfort, clicking or headaches, often linked to clenching or grinding (bruxism). Dr Sidhu treats both single-tooth problems and complex cases where careful bite assessment and phased rehabilitation are needed.
Treatment may include crowns and bridges, full-mouth rehabilitation, dental implants and implant-supported restorations, and replacement of missing teeth with fixed or removable solutions. She also routinely manages tooth wear and bruxism with splints and bite stabilisation to protect teeth and reduce discomfort.
Patients often comment on her calm manner and the clarity she brings to decision-making. Consultations are structured and thorough, and may include relevant X-rays, digital scans, bite analysis and a jaw joint (TMJ) assessment. Findings and options are explained in plain language, with realistic expectations around outcomes, timelines and maintenance. A written, staged treatment plan can then be prepared after the assessment so you can move forward with confidence. For anxious patients, Dr Sidhu offers supportive behavioural approaches. Sedation is also available for an additional fee, provided by a visiting sedation specialist who attends alongside Dr Sidhu.
Dr Sidhu qualified from King’s College London in 2004 and completed specialist training at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, graduating with distinction in the MClinDent in Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics. She was awarded Membership in Prosthodontics by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and is on the General Dental Council Specialist Register in Prosthodontics.
If you are experiencing ongoing dental problems, would like to improve the appearance of your smile while protecting comfort and function, or you would value a specialist opinion after previous treatment, Dr Sidhu will discuss your concerns carefully and outline the most appropriate next steps.

Frequently asked questions
Why did you decide to become a Prosthodontist ?
I’ve always loved the balance between science and creativity, and dentistry felt like the perfect combination of both. I started in NHS dentistry but found it limited in terms of the complexity of cases I could manage. Specialising in prosthodontics at the Eastman allowed me to treat more complex cases and support patients with life-changing dental needs. I’m especially drawn to helping people who’ve lost their confidence due to trauma, developmental issues, or disease, and I enjoy being part of multidisciplinary teams that tailor treatment for each patient.
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
Patients commonly come to me with general or localised tooth wear, tooth sensitivity, and jaw discomfort. Many mention their teeth are getting shorter or changing colour. Others struggle with gaps from missing teeth, loose dentures, or pain from previous dental work that hasn’t functioned well. I also see people with speech issues or bite imbalances, often caused by clenching or grinding, as well as those who’ve had trauma, cancer, or congenital absence of teeth.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
I provide a full spectrum of restorative treatments—from fillings and crowns to complex full-mouth reconstructions. I place and restore implants, including bone preservation techniques during extractions. I also offer splint therapy for patients with jaw pain or cracked teeth due to grinding. Esthetic treatments like veneers and composite bonding are a big part of my work, especially for patients wanting smile makeovers. For those who can’t have implants, I also provide dentures, including implant-supported options.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
I have a strong interest in aesthetic dentistry—particularly in restoring smiles that are both beautiful and functionally sound. I enjoy managing tooth wear cases and doing full-mouth rehabilitations. Implant work and denture provision are also important areas for me. I especially value splint therapy because it can transform lives for patients suffering from jaw pain and sleep issues. It’s fulfilling to offer solutions that truly improve a patient’s daily comfort and confidence.
